Prolyte Doughty Japan Inc. (PDJ) will offer a variety of Prolyte Products Group and Doughty Engineering products, which include the Prolyft hoist range, winches and pulleys, and is attached to a warehouse stocking a large number of these products. PAP, which operates as an independent sales office supported by Prolyte and Doughty, says this will give it a competitive edge in the Asian market by allowing it to supply products with a shorter lead-time.

This will be supplemented by a Japanese language website and translations of the main Prolyte brochures. Mutsuo Osawa has been appointed managing director of PDJ
